At first glance, Jackson Avenue in the Bronx is less than glamorously composed of rusted fences, dilapidated roadway, and a hodgepodge of bodegas, apartments, and brownstones. But Stephanie McKay sweetly jazzes up the section of the street where she grew up - singing as zealously about Jackson Avenue as The Jackson 5 sang about the ABCs. Sunny, hook-heavy soul, this track "Jackson Avenue" will stick in your head all day. Keep an eye on Stephanie McKay; she's got the sass and talent of Lauren Hill, with the soul of Gloria Gaynor or The Emotions (Not to mention she's worked with Kelis, Talib Kweli, and Mos Def.) Her new album Tell It Like It Is is coming out this spring.

Sounds Like: Lauren Hill, Macy Gray, Jackson 5, Gloria Gaynor
